Max OT

Training for big boys.
just wondering who here does max ot?
what your results are like?
how much your bench, squat and lat pulldown has gone up by in kgs?
and just general chat about the max ot way of life.

I've reached a plateau in my training so decided to shake things up and decided to try out the max ot program. First for two weeks then if it looks like things are working gonna push for the whole 16 weeks. I'm a bit skeptical about the little number of exercises but hey it seems worth a try. Gonna take pictures tonight and record progress for the next couple weeks

been doing Max OT for a while now. . .squats have gone up from 120 to 160kg and bench has gone from 44kg dumbells to 55kg dumbells even my deadlifts have taken a kick up the rear and gone to 180kg. . . .very happy with max ot off season.

Trensetta that is freakin excellent dude.
nice.
my squat has gone up as well but I need to sort my shoulders out before my bench goes up any.
would you mind just popping in here every week or 2 to update us on your stats?
shot bro.

oh and good luck with it Relentless.
I have also just started week one.
we'll keep in touch here and see how it goes

i did arms and abs yesterday, took me longer then the 30 mins and this morning my elbow is giving me hell. And i dunno how to do any stretches for it or anything. Also dont you guys find its a little total workouts cause afterwards i feel like i still got alot more energy

i did the max ot for something like 6 weeks. took me to weaks to really get it going,to figure out what is my max and and.
i dropped it, now i just mix it all up all the time,used it as a learning oppertunity. the best program is the one you are not doing said some guy reviewing max ot.
evan centopani said in his thread that no great physique was build with 6reps. nice food for thought me thinks

haha, I like that. I agree with you from my experiences so far but new routines are always worth a try

I'm getting great gains from this program already but I've also changed my diet for the better.
that said, I am enjoying this program a lot. been breaking all my records in the gym.
fantastic.

yo guys.
the max ot program says that you should repeat the same split or 4 weeks and only then should you change it...
surely it would be better to mix it up every 2 weeks?
some advice?
thanks.

Just curious. Why do you want to mix it up every 2 weeks? Usually any program takes 4 to 6 weeks minimum to work.
Just asking...

nah dude, not switch the program but switch the workouts within the program so that I am not doing the same exercise split for 4 weeks in a row. I have heard that you should change your workouts(the exercises you do in them) every 2 weeks to avoid hindering gains. or something confused. haha.

Howzit bud

Don't change your the max-ot program, it was designed that way. Stick with the program bud. Go to www.ast-ss.com and read bud, READ!!!!

I thought that's what you meant. You certainly DON"T have to change the split every 2 weeks to keep making gains.
The Max OT is a good program and the splits have been designed for a reason, and they work. So don't go changing the splits, stick to the program imo
